Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 572 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts, thou fount of life, thou light of men; from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call; to them that seek thee thou art good, to them that find thee, all in all. 3 We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountain-head, and thirst our souls from thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesu, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light.

God of our life, to thee we call

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1809 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of our life, to thee we call, afflicted at thy feet we fall; when the great water-floods prevail, leave not our trembling hearts to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the saint, Where should we lodge our deep complaint? Where but with thee, whose open door invites the helpless and the poor? 3 Did ever mourner plead with thee, and thou refuse that mourner’s plea? Does not the Word still fixed remain, that none shall seek thy face in vain? 4 Then hear, O Lord, our humble cry, and bend on us thy pitying eye: to thee their prayer thy people make, hear us for our Redeemer's sake.

Deep Are the Wounds That Sin Has Made

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Deep are the wounds that sin has made; Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas! is nature’s aid; The work exceeds all nature’s power. 2. And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh, To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 3. There is a great Physician near; Look up, O fainting soul, and live! See in His heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give. 4. See in the dying Savior’s blood Life, health, and bliss abundant flow! ’Tis only this dear, sacred flood Can ease thy pain, and heal thy woe. 5. Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sovereign cure is found, A cordial for the fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound. Used With Tune: ST.

Lord Jesu, when we stand afar

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesu, when we stand afar and gaze upon thy holy cross, in love of thee and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss! 2 When we behold thy bleeding wounds, and the rough way that thou hast trod, make us to hate the load of sin that lay so heavy on our God. 3 O holy Lord, uplifted high, with outstretched arms, in mortal woe, embracing in thy wondrous love the sinful world that lies below. 4 Give us an ever-living faith, go gaze beyond the things we see; and in the mystery of thy Death draw us and all men unto thee.
